DEADLY DYNAMITE.
An Explosion tears off Boys Finger

An Explosion tears offa Boys Fingers
Monday about noon Harry
Wright the twelve year old son of
s. B. Lynd, picked up a dynamite
cartridge, such az is used in kill
ing fish, in the yard of j. B. Lar
kin. The child did not know
what it was. but thought he could
use it for whistle, as boys often
use the empty shells Of pistol car
tridges. Thinking the deadly COM
pound, it contained, was dirt he
took pin and began picking it out
when terrible explosion follow
ed tearing off the ends of several
fingers, Drs. Cohen and Grove
were called who found it necessa-
ry to amputate the thumb and first
three fingers of the left hand be-
low the first joint. The thumb and
first two fingers of the right hand
were badly lacerated, but with
these amputation was unnececssa-
ry. Bad as the accident is. it
might have been much worse,
when we consider that if one of
these cartridges were stepped on,
the explosion would kill a man,
and had he not been grasping the
cartridge loosely his hands would
have been torn completely off. The
boy was surrounded by a half dozen
other children, who, fortunately,
escaped with only few scratches.
How the cartridge came where it
was is mystery, but it is criminal
carelessness to place SO deadly
an agent, where it is, at any time
likely to endanger life or limb.

Austin Base BAH Club at Albert Lea.

Editors of the TRANSCRIPT.
We boys went to Albert Lea to play the
base ball club of that place a friendly
game, last Monday, We squandered
full hour trying to find, that interesting
little hamlet. The resul; was the Austin
boys refused to plav after o'clock, it
being so dark. The game had reached
the sixth inning and stood Austin 8. AL
bert Lea 6. If Albert Lea had only strung
out flag or lantern on the top of q
high pole so we might have got there
sooner the game would have been finish
ed. The game was quiet and the dia.
mond nice one, but we even yet fail to
understand why the Albert Lea Club had
back stop behind every base except
the second. We think that there is fu
ture for Albert Lea. We are certain we
saw two houses in process OF cOnstruc-
ton. There are two things which are
against the growth of that place. First.
there are too many streets. Indeed the
village may be said to consist largely of
many streets with some houses attached.
The second trouble is that "sloo" or sink
preserve. That marsh ought to be drain
ed off. 1T is rank and smells to heav-
en-" The people round about those parts
sustained their players with all the wild
enthusiasm peculiar to suburban people.
but we are not sorry we went.

Toledo Blade: A funny incident with
a moraD happened in the New Hamp-
shire legislature the other day. A bill
for woman suffrage was before the house
and had strong chance for passing.
When the ballot was ordered. one of the
leading champions of the measure arose
and SAID he would have to vote against
it, explaining that before he left home
that morning his wife remarked that"if he
was tool enough to vote for that bill, he
need not come home any more" A roar
of laughter passed over the hall, and the
bill was lost-147 to 81. Moral-when
women really want the ballot they will
likely get it. At present, the women of
the land have enough to do in caring for
their homes and children. without vast
ing time on politics.

THE Grand Meadow Record of last
week goes for the reform" Board of
County Commissioners for laying a tax
of $4,000 for bridges, and expending
the greater amount on those bridges near
Austin. The Record should remember
that the commissioners were elected by
and represent the entire county and are
in position to know the wants of the
entire county. We belieYe the reform"
board will be careful to spend the county
money where it is most needed.
